Wouldn’t that just be a scaled up version of Saw?

Hey at least its not Windows lol

Something something Indian something something

Anyways, the human trafficking flow is the opposite for South Asia. The oil rich nations like KSA and UAE are notorious for enslaved labor by trapping poor people trying to find work abroad with promises of a living wage and foreign national status.

Which is why their foreign abused labor is mostly Pakistani, Indian, and Sri Lankan.

Pakistan is also so ridiculously starved of international tourism that foreigners have trouble trying to pay for stuff because the locals offer too much.

Some examples:

I thought the point of using AI placeholder graphics was for mock up purposes so the level designers, writers, animators, etc. have an idea of the intended look the artist wants before the artist gets to that section and actually fills it in with their talent, or finalizes their nth edit to where they are satisfied to merge their additions.

Otherwise, why doesn’t everyone just use the purple/black missing texture map everywhere?

I’d even go so far as to assume the artist threw his scratch sketches at an AI and told it to make the mockups so the rest of the dev team doesn’t miss the general idea.

I have no idea if this is actually the case, but why would anyone go out of their way to get an AI to generate a reusable texture otherwise? It would literally be faster to just select a pre-existing option from the game engine library or even just make your own with a quick image tile + save.

Average American inland “seafood” is garbage. You have access to the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Florida Keys, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, and hundreds of thousands of lakes and rivers, yet the top fish dish 100+ miles from a shore is usually catfish fresh out of a polluted sewage overflow ditch or farmed shrimp/crawfish fed on subsidized cornmeal.

I saw a great sign at a seafood market once that read “If it smells like fish, it’s not fresh fish”. I can personally guarantee you that you cannot find good quality, fresh seafood in the USA unless you live within travel distance of a shore where you can find a local market or restaurant that sells their catch of the day.

Catfish is not good quality fish. It’s a trash bottom feeder that does an excellent job of cleaning waterways. Stop eating it and claiming the flavor is unmatched, I can taste the Monsanto runoff.

Like capsaicin spicy (hot) or spices in general (pepper, cardamom, etc)?

I can understand hotness because it really is more of an acquired thing, especially with certain regions using it way more than others. But the only people I’ve heard who complain about this are the same people who can’t handle bargain basement hint of jalapeno potato chips lol.

And if its the second category, then I assume you must be British lmao.

And because someone is going to say “Just use Linux”, believe me, I’d love to, but the user experience sucks for literally anyone who isn’t a software developer and the accessibility has actually gotten worse over the 15 years I’ve tried to use it.

Don’t listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.

If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: https://fedoraproject.org/kde/

Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn’t realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.

but does that still work when resetting?

Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it’ll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says “I don’t have internet”. Click that and make your local account.

If it doesn’t work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I’ve made had me do it twice.

Hey I just want to let you know that my user tag that I put on your account a couple of weeks ago continues to prove itself lol

I’m starting to think this whole setup was just a move by Pakistan to get KSA to pay off their loans in exchange for PAF’s pilots and fighters lol: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/11/pakistan-sends-fighter-jets-to-saudi-arabia-amid-fragile-us-iran-ceasefire

Iran and US were already aware of eachother’s demands, I don’t think they had any high hopes for a successful negotiation, especially since the contending point was Israel following through.

They even made up marketing fanfare for it like this was some kinda special convention and not literally a heated negotiation over an active war: https://www.reddit.com/r/policymarket/comments/1shoo63/the_world_is_watching_and_the_world_is_hopeful/

I first predicted Biden throwing the election in 2023: https://lemmy.world/post/7717844/5052261

Then I spent the rest of the time making fun of you delusionals posting these crappy memes:

You ever notice how both FlyingSquid and PugJesus stopped posting 24/7 to the Political communities despite being the most outspoken for voting Biden/Harris? Have fun in 2028 with Newsom bud.

I said it as a half joke, but I think Iran should swap their missile tech with NK for fuel enrichment.

NK, Iran, and Libya allegedly got their initial enrichment tech from Pakistan. Only NK was able to successfully follow through, and they too allegedly swapped their missile tech for the cylinders lol.

Right? I was like dang you’re already half way there lol.

The reason though is that they probably don’t want to discourage payments because I have seen businesses refuse to use Monero in ransomware attacks because their insurance agreement complicates payout on a fundamentally untraceable currency. Even if Bitcoin is technically decentralized, they can report the transaction and specific currency blocks to whatever federal agency is responsible for fraud.

Still, why not offer both and put a 5% discount on Monero.

I’m too lazy to find it now, but one of the tests they tried long before NASA started sending people into space was eating a banana upside down where they figured out the digestive tract can function against gravity.

There was also an encyclopedia brown story about this in which I remember Geese and Ducks rely on gravity to swallow, therefore they wouldn’t be able to eat in space.

While I’m glad there seems to be genuine development behind these peace talks, I’m also personally disappointed watching Shebaz Sharif and Asmin Munir get recognized for doing literally anything of value.

The PM is from a long family history of corrupt PMLN members who got rich off of strangling Pakistan’s economy and investing their illegal earning abroad.

And the FM (Field Marshal, not foreign minister) promoted himself to Field Marshal after getting the PAF to do all the actual military work last year while he spent his resources cracking down on the public and placing his photo on every poster in the country.

Oh and he had a ton of people assasinated, jailed, tortured, “disappeared”, and “software updated” for supporting the previous PM who has been in jail since 2023 under falsified corruption charges.

They’re already acting like this is some grand slam success for doing nothing but forwarding messages between Iran and the USA, all whilst technically being at war with Afghanistan only because Trump demanded revenge after the Taliban refused to give access to the Bagram Airfield again.

Hah I actually remembered this too, and people were still hyping Elon Musk at the time as well.

TBF the researchers knew what they had could be scaled into something gamebreaking which is how we got ChatGPT-3, but OpenAI made it sound like they already had it nailed down several years before it actually blew up. I think their unreleased examples they gave were a newspaper and short story written by AI which they said was indistinguishable from human material.

governors would fall into line pretty quickly

Dem governors would line up to oppose him.

This isn’t really possible anymore, State NGs are nationalized so the federal government is already in charge. That’s how JFK enforced desegregation in Alabama, he literally removed the state governor from the chain of command: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_in_the_Schoolhouse_Door

It’s the same reason Walz did basically nothing in Minnesota. If he attempted to direct the NG or even his separate State militia, Trump would have thrown him into a charge under insurrection.

It would fall on the NG or Militia CO to proclaim allegiance to either the state or federal government. Considering what has happened so far, the most you’d see is some resignations.

I wonder if Iran played off of Trump’s ego and he promised he would get Israel on board, thereby not having to negotiate with Israel who would be the least likely to accept any terms beyond complete surrender.

Trump seems keen on wanting an out while declaring victory, especially after the special ops drop in Isfahan went wrong.

Israel will of course does not want any end to the war, so now it becomes a tussle on whether the US owns Israel or the Israel owns the US lol.

Field Marshal first.

PM gets whatever falls from the spit of his mouth

I’m pretty sure its shopped because I’ve never seen a machine with actual displays in it for each flavor lol. They all use paper cut outs.
